Kate Middleton Has Welcomed An Impressive New Woman Into Her Team

And she is no stranger to Kate! - by Jenny Proudfoot

The Cambridges are undoubtedly the most talked about family in the world, and in the aftermath of the Sussex family’s resignation, they are making non-stop headline news.

Their popularity has only surged during the coronavirus outbreak, with Kate and William sharing sneak peeks of their royal offices to Instagram, releasing sweet videos of their children and surprising NHS workers, school teachers and young students with video phone calls to boost morale and give thanks.

This week however, the Cambridges made news for a different reason – their staff, with the royal couple hiring a new (and very important) member of the team.

Self-isolation and social distancing can pose huge challenges to our mental health - in recent weeks The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been in regular contact with organisations and patronages to understand the issues they are facing during this difficult time. Last week ☎️ The Duke spoke to @mindcharity CEO Paul Farmer, and The Duchess spoke to Catherine Roche, CEO of @_place2be. Today Public Health England has published new guidance to help support people during the COVID-19 outbreak, and updated its world-leading Every Mind Matters platform, with specific advice on maintaining good mental wellbeing during the outbreak; take a look at our Story or visit the link in our bio 📱 to find out more. Speaking about the new guidance, The Duke and Duchess said: * "It is great to see the mental health sector working together with the NHS to help people keep on top of their mental well-being. * By pulling together and taking simple steps each day, we can all be better prepared for the times ahead". * The Government has also announced a grant for @MindCharity to help fund their services for people struggling with their mental wellbeing during this time.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been expanding their team in recent months, rehiring Prince Harry and Meghan’s former social media manager earlier this year–news that unsurprisingly went viral.

Today however it was the addition of Kate’s new Private Secretary that made headlines, as the Duchess of Cambridge hired Hannah Cockburn-Logie to be her new right-hand woman.

Hannah, who has previously worked with the couple on their 2016 tour of India and Bhutan, will be filling the role left by Catherine Quinn, who stepped down from her post of two years, six months ago.

Congratulations to Hannah and Kate!
